Dispersion and Temperature Sensor with Such a Dispersion

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a special dispersion that includes a block terpolymer with a unique arrangement of polymer blocks and a complexing agent in a water-based medium. Some blocks become sensitive to temperature, others are water-soluble, and some are water-insoluble when the complexing agent is present. The invention also relates to a temperature sensor that uses this dispersion material.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Temperature sensors for industrial or laboratory applications
• Smart coatings or films that respond to temperature changes
• Biomedical sensors for monitoring temperature in medical devices
• Environmental monitoring systems
• Food quality monitoring where temperature sensitivity is vital

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Highly sensitive to temperature changes due to thermosensitive block
• Can be engineered for specific environmental conditions (water-soluble/insoluble segments)
• Potentially more robust and adaptable than conventional sensor materials
• Compatible with water-based systems, making it environmentally friendlier
• Versatile in various sensor and smart material applications

Patent Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Dispersion, die ein Blockterpolymer und ein Komplexierungsagens in einem wässerigen Dispersionsmittel enthält. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass das Blockterpolymer einen ersten Homopolymer-Block Bl1, zwei zweite Homopolymer-Blöcke Bl2und zwei dritte Homopolymer-Blöcke Bl3aufweist, wobei der erste Homopolymer-Block Bl1zwischen den beiden zweiten Homopolymer-Blöcke Bl2und die zweiten Homopolymer-Blöcke Bl2jeweils zwischen dem ersten Homopolymer-Block Bl1und einem der beiden dritten Homopolymer-Blöcke Bl3angeordnet sind, wobeider erste Homopolymer-Block Bl1in Gegenwart des Komplexierungsagens ein thermosensitiver Homopolymer-Block ist;die beiden zweiten Homopolymer-Blöcke Bl2in Gegenwart des Komplexierungsagens jeweils wasserlösliche Homopolymer-Blöcke sind; und diedie beiden dritten Homopolymer-Blöcke Bl3in Gegenwart Komplexierungsagens jeweils wasserunlösliche Homopolymer-Blöcke sind.
